}}'''Marion Eduardo Moseby''', known to most as '''Mr. Moseby''' or simply '''Moseby''', is a [[fictional character]] in the [[Disney Channel]] [[television series]], ''[[The Suite Life of Zack & Cody]]''. He is played by [[Phill Lewis]]. |
|||
Moseby is the manager of [[the Tipton Hotel]] in [[Boston, Massachusetts|Boston]]. |
|||
Moseby loves the Tipton Hotel and spends a lot of his time protecting it from the antics of Zack and Cody Martin, who are the sons of Carey Martin - the singer at the Tipton. Mr. Moseby pretends not to like the boys, but he does show concern for them. He bonded with them in ''[[List of The Suite Life of Zack & Cody episodes#ep16|Big Hair & Baseball ]]'' when he took them to a baseball game (his first one). Mr. Moseby is usually very austere, but can be fun, comic, and sarcastic. Mr. Moseby can speak [[French language|French]] (although in one episode, he is heard speaking many other languages). When he was young, he did [[ballet]], and wanted the role of Nutcracker Prince in the ballet, ''[[The Nutcracker]]'', but suffered a [[tetherball]] injury and, therefore, wasn't able to have the role. He was the only boy amongst 20 pretty girls. Mr. Moseby is like a second father to [[London Tipton]]. His [[employee]], [[Madeline Fitzpatrick|Maddie Fitzpatrick]] — who works as a candy counter girl — and London are good friends, but sometimes get into fights, which Mr. Moseby occasionally has to break up. He has only once felt relaxed in ''[[List of The Suite Life of Zack & Cody episodes#ep29|Day Care]]'' for a moment but was then interrupted. Being manager of the Tipton hotel means a lot to him and he is very skilled at it and making people listen when they don't to others. Mr. Moseby is known for wearing 100% Tipton branded clothing including boxer shorts, socks and handkerchief as can be seen in the episode ''[[List of The Suite Life of Zack & Cody episodes#ep4|Hotel Inspector]]''. |
|||
Moseby has an older (but significantly shorter) brother named Spencer who always bullied him. Even as adults, Moseby was always the bullied little brother, since he was just a hotel manager while his brother was a rich millionaire. Eventually, the two let out their built up tension between them in an immature childish fight. He also has 2 more siblings, which include his niece Nia's mother and a woman named Lily, mentioned by Nia as her Aunt Lily. |
|||
The alternate Moseby in ''[[The Suite Smell of Excess]]'' is a prank-loving, troublemaker who lets the boys do what they like in the lobby and have all the candy they want from the counter. He prefers to be called "M". |
|||
He is also known for his dancing when he stars in the Tipton's commercial until he hurts his leg so he can't be in it. The role is then covered by [[Zack Martin]], [[Cody Martin]], and their mother [[Carey Martin]] posing as a family that just arrived at the Tipton. |
|||
==Other facts== |
|||
*Moseby is in The Tipton family album more than Mr. Tipton or any of his ex-wives. |
|||
*Moseby sometimes serves as London and even Maddie's surrogate father. |
|||
*Helped London take her first steps (in designer booties). |
|||
*It took him fourteen years to teach [[London Tipton|London]] the alphabet but now she knows her ABDs (as London says). |
|||
*His first job at The Tipton was as a [[bellboy]] (presumably in the 1970s, when large [[Afros]] were in style, but this would make Moseby's age at least in the late 40's), from which he worked his way up to his manager's position. |
|||
*A running gag is that he often embarrasses/frightens the guests winding up in a position (such as whacking a fake baby doll that wouldn't stop crying against a chair when a mother with a baby walked by) which is embarrassing, whether an action or saying something sarcastic about himself that is untrue, like being a [[belly dancer]] or wearing a cocktail dress. |
|||
*Aided London in driving lessons in the episode "Cody Goes to Camp". |
|||
*He once made a model of the Tipton out of popsicle sticks. |
|||
*Employee of the month 87 times, which means he has worked at the Tipton for over 7 years. |
|||
*He is overcritical, as he criticized Carey's driving while driving himself. |
|||
*He has had many different hair-styles over the years, including: an afro, jheri curls, a fade, and dread locks. |
|||
*His grandmother's name is Rose Moseby who carries a copious handbag. |
|||
*His mother is named Beulah, and weighs 270 pounds. He states that she was 250 pounds of fire and brimstone, and 20 pounds of coffee cake. |
|||
*He has a tendency to say "Good luck with that." in a sarcastic way, similar to [[Jerry Seinfeld]]. |
|||
*In "[[Super Twins]]", Moseby becomes a supervillain called "the Meanager"(Which was his nickname.), with brainwashing-vision (yellow), heat-vision (only seen within the first ten minutes, red), tickle-vision (purple), freeze-vision (blue), and adultizing-vision (green). |
|||
*His older brother is shorter than him. |
|||
*He has a troubled niece named Nia, and promised her mother (presumably his sister) that he would straighten her out. |
|||
*Arwin asks Moseby if Arwin can call him "Mary" after learning his first name. |
|||
*He is similar to [[Basil Fawlty]] from [[Fawlty Towers]], as he often gets into wacky situations, is sometimes sarcastic, and sometimes Estaban, the Spanish bellboy, gets on his nerves, a bit like the relationship between Basil and Spanish porter [[Manuel (Fawlty Towers)|Manuel]], though Moseby never uses physical violence towards Estaban. |
